Isn't that the truth!
I remember in the movie Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis, the bad guy had taken her duty revolver. So - later his is getting ready to shoot someone. He first cocks the revolver to scare the guy - then the camera zooms in ..... for dramatic effect, they show the guy squeezing the trigger, the cylinder turning .....
Well - we all know that the cylinder would have turned when the hammer was thumbed back. The bad guy didn't lower the hammer - but they don't know what they're talking about.

In Stand By Me, a kid at the bank of the stream breaks up a fight by firing a 1911 up in the air. Then, when one of the older boy comes at him, he points the 45 at him and thumbs back the hammer ..... ugh!

So - in short - we can't trust Hollywood to portray anything gun related correctly. But there is a reason for that ... Hollywood is in CA, and (by-and-large) movies are made by liberals .... so it is no wonder that they don't know how guns work!
